CHEVY SILVERADO EV GETS NEW PRICE AND REVISED RANGE, FORD DELAYS BIG EVS

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Silverado EV RST is set to receive a price reduction and an increased range, according to recent reports. While specific figures were not detailed in this segment, the news suggests a more competitive positioning for the electric pickup. The discussion also touched upon the broader EV market, including Ford's delays in launching new electric SUVs and pickup trucks, shifting focus to plug-in hybrids. Tesla's Q1 2024 delivery numbers were significantly down, raising concerns about the brand's momentum. Additionally, the Enphase IQ 50 EV charger was reviewed, praised for its robust build quality inherited from Clipper Creek, but criticized for its high price point. New Jersey's introduction of an annual EV fee and the phasing out of EV sales tax exemptions were highlighted as significant impediments to EV adoption in the state, potentially favoring plug-in hybrids over pure EVs.
